hello jricky1!!! you said you really want to show her your heart and your love...i suggest that you buy her a cuddly stuffed toy or a cute and cuddly pillow that she could take with her to her bed when she sleeps at night or when she takes naps in the afternoon. in that way she will always be reminded of you even when she sleeps:) what do you think?

Well, i think different kinds of people like different of things. For your friend, as you have said, she is your best friend, so i think you must know her well. And as you also said, she like Chinese culture very much. So i think you can buy some silk clothes for her. Maybe try some traditional Chinese clothes, they can make her more beautiful.

if you have a lot of photos on your computer of the two of you you could make up a nice little photo album so she could have a hard copy of all your memories, I am doing this for a friend for Christmas, but I am not printing the photos out myself I am getting them printed which some places do very cheap these days. Some people just don't have the hard copy photos anymore and just don't really look at a lot of the photos on their computer..just a thought.

You could go to Walmart and get her one of those Visa gift cards and that way she could go out shopping for whatever she might need or want.

Hi there. It's good for your best friend to have someone like you who seems to be very thoughtful and generous. If I were your friend, I would be grateful for whatever gift I will receive from you for I know it comes from your heart. You can actually send any gifts, in the first place you know her better since she's your friend. You know very well her interests and likes. But make sure to write even just a short message in that gift. We always believe that it's the thoughts that count. Just ask yourself about what do you really want to give to her.

Hello, jricky1! I don't believe that all of us value anything our friends give to us. We cannot force ourselves if we don't like the gift. One of my friends gave me a yellow shirt during one of our exchange gifts. It was so many years ago. I really dislike anything which is yellow, much more if it's something I'm going to wear. That time, my friend was so excited. She told me that the shirt really suits me because I have a very fair complexion and yellow will enhance my complexion. I didn't know why she's so eager to see me wearing the shirt. She told me that she wanted to see me always wearing it. I granted her request but not always. I wore the shirt one time and didn't wear it again. She seemed not to notice that after that day, I never wore the shirt again. I can never pretend that I like the shirt just to please her. My advice to you is to first ask your friend what gift she really likes. There's no harm in asking. If you do not want to reveal that it's you who want to know what gift she wants, tell her that someone special wants to know what gift she really wants to receive. If I were your friend, I would tell the truth that I want an Apple laptop. LOL If your friend tells you that any gift will be appreciated, then you no longer have problems. Good luck!
